Microsoft Photos peut maintenant améliorer et optimiser les photos en utilisant l’intelligence artificielle.

According to a blog post from Windows yesterday, the Microsoft Photos app is now being updated with a new High Resolution feature that can enlarge and enhance the quality of low-resolution images using artificial intelligence.

With High Resolution, you will be able to increase the image resolution by up to eight times its original size. It is a great way to clean up old photos from old digital cameras and enhance images for creative or editing purposes. It is one of the most exciting features planned as part of the Microsoft Windows 11 AI roadmap.

As Supersolution uses artificial intelligence technology, this feature is only available for Copilot+ computers powered by Snapdragon processors. (Copilot+ PCs are next-generation computers powered by artificial intelligence with a special component called NPU, which handles all artificial intelligence processing operations and frees up the CPU and GPU for other uses.) It is unclear whether High Resolution will eventually come to computers that do not support Copilot+ in the future. But most likely not.

High Resolution is currently only available to Windows Insiders on the Windows 11 operating system across all Insider channels. There is no information yet on when it will arrive in the stable release of Windows 11.

This update for Microsoft Photos also adds OCR support (ability to copy text from an image to your clipboard) to both Windows 10 and 11, usability improvements for the Zoom feature, and one-click photo opening from File Explorer.
